A leading law firm, J-K Gadzama LLP, has issued a public notice and caveat emptor warning members of the public against engaging in any transaction involving several residential plots located in Guzape District, Abuja, citing multiple pending legal disputes and a subsisting caveat lodged with the Abuja Geographic Information Systems (AGIS).
In the notice dated November 27, 2025, the firm disclosed that the affected properties are situated at Cadastral Zone AO7, Abdulrahman Okene Street, off Nasir El-Rufai Crescent, Guzape District, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
The plots affected by the warning are Plot Nos. 1783, 1787, 1788, 1790, 1791, 1793, 1794, 1795, 1796, 1797, 1798, 1799, 1801, 1802, and 1979.
According to the law firm, the plots are presently the subject of multiple court proceedings and an ongoing arbitration, making any sale, transfer, assignment, perfection of title, or related transaction legally contentious.
The firm stated that there are pending proceedings before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, including:
Suit No. FCT/HC/CV/2528/2021 – *KYC Interproject Ltd v. Cozmo Park Consortium Ltd & Ors
Suit No. FCT/HC/CV/806/2022 – *Ma’aruf Sadig Abdullahi & 3 Ors v. KYC Interprojects Ltd & Anor.
Suit No. FCT/HC/CV/5064/2024 – KYC Interproject Ltd v. Minister of FCT & Ors.
In addition, the matter is reportedly the subject of an arbitration proceeding pending before M. M. Sakaba, Esq.
J-K Gadzama LLP further disclosed that subsisting status quo orders have been made in relation to the disputes and remain in force.
The notice also drew attention to a judgment delivered on February 5, 2025, by Hon. Justice A. A. Halilu in Suit No. FCT/HC/CV/6941/2023, Arodiogbu Enterprises Ltd v. KYC Interproject Ltd & 5 Ors.
According to the firm, the Court held that KYC Interproject Ltd had no legal title to the disputed plots and consequently lacked the legal capacity to sell them. The Court was said to have invalidated the purchase made by the subscriber in that transaction.
Describing the matter as one requiring caution, the law firm strongly advised prospective purchasers, investors, developers, financial institutions, and members of the public to refrain from entering into any form of transaction relating to the plots until all pending disputes have been finally determined.
“The pendency of the cases in Court should be respected,” the notice stated, warning that any person who proceeds to transact on the affected properties does so entirely at their own risk.
The firm urged interested persons seeking clarification to contact the registrars of the respective courts where the suits are pending or communicate directly with the firm through its designated channels.
The public notice underscores the importance of conducting thorough due diligence before acquiring interests in real property, particularly where litigation, arbitral proceedings, or caveats have been registered against the land in question.
